Other Hobie Forum - 02/18/04 04:57 AM
Just to let you all know we are creating a new H16 Trapseat form at http://www.hobiecat.com/community/ and there is currently a H16 forum there as well that seems to get more and more active each month.
Sense I am the one that asked Rick to create this forum to get away from the Open Forums constant anti-H16 rhetoric I feel that this forum is a special place to meet. With the recent IHCA and HCA rules changes I have been told that many of my H16 friends will now be moving from this forum to the Hobie Forums at http://www.hobiecat.com/community/ I of course plan to continue to go to this and the other forum even though the new Trapseat forum at the Hobie cat website will be our new official forum.
I would like to thank Rick for this forum but with the recent attacks or should I say crying on the Open Forum about the IHCA rule changes I don’t think many Hobie sailors will feel that this or the open forum are safe places to post anymore.
I really do not know what all the fuse is about as the Laser classes have been having Laser only regattas for years and feel that Hobie is now getting back to their roots. I also see NAMSA as a positive develop for those anti-Hobie sailors and general good all around multihull sailors, its time they started running their own show. Actually many have been running their own show for some time now, so should not be a big change. I wish both HCA and NAMSA great success, and hope the NAMSA will use their organization for supporting multihull racing and not just for complaining about the Hobie rule change.
See you on this and the other Hobie forum at http://www.hobiecat.com/community/
